'For the first time in history, a kinetic, integrated, functional design piece has been produced in a single, non-assembled unit. This functional piece of furniture, including all moving parts, was produced in one piece by the Rapid Prototyping technique known as Selective Laser Sintering.'

Lily.MGX
Designed by Janne Kyttanen
Technique: SLS
Material: polyamide (nylon)
Colour: white
Design: chrome coated, stainless steel

Janne Kyttänen, born in Finland in 1974, began experimenting with Rapid Manufacturing technology to produce prototypes for new products. Janne founded his company, Freedom Of Creation (FOC), in Helsinki in 2000 and in 2002 started FOC in its current form in Amsterdam while using Materialise's machines to produce rapid manufactured lights. This collaboration led to the new Materialise MGX department, which presented its first collection of designer lampshades manufactured with 3D printing techniques at the Salone del Mobile in Milan in 2003. The collection promptly won the Blueprint Best Newcomer Award at the 2003 100% Design Show in London.

Janne's company produces unique light designs and interior accessories in highly complex and intricate forms and its endless experimenting and research into material applications has resulted in the production of rapid manufactured fabrics made up of thousands of tiny, interlocking pieces.
